You don't change the game on me. Grrrr.


You have been paying into social security since you were 13 years old????


Can't speak for OP, but I certainly have. I was delivering newspapers then and FICA was withheld.

The first PP is right. The trust funds may run out, but even after that, people will still be paying the FICA tax and that will be enough to pay 3/4 of benefits. Plus Congress will probably eventually fix the remaining 1/4 gap with some combination of FICA tax increases and benefit cuts.

Are you seriously expecting to have any social security around when you retire?

We just consider it to be contributions to help support our aging parents and grandparents. Our retirement is what we are putting away beyond social security.

If you are our age and expecting it to be there for your retirement, you are going to be in for a rude awakening.
